<br>
Certain platforms, after encoding the alphabet, numbers, and
punctuation as single tiles, use what is left of their 255
possible character table entries as <a href="02-DTE.html">DTE (Dual Tile Encoding)</A> and
<a href="02-MTE.html">MTE (Multiple Tile Encoding)</A> values.<br>
<br>
In the case of DTE this means that some of the remaining hex
values are assigned common &quot;dual-tiles&quot;. <br>
<br>
Example:<br>
<br>
In Final Fantasy 2 (US) the following hex values are SOME of the
dual-tiles representing common character pairs. <br>
<br>
<tt>HEX TILE<br>
... ...<br>
8C&nbsp; th<br>
8D&nbsp; he<br>
8F &nbsp;ou<br>
92 &nbsp;er<br>
93 &nbsp;in<br>
... ...<br></tt>
<br>
If DTE is used extensively, it makes determining the encoding
table very difficult because guesses would have to be made about
how DTE is used.</p>
